RWC - if the ABs lose, which champs wouldn’t be too bad?

@Nepia given they have been losing finalists 3 times haven't they?

I think so - 87 99 11
should have been there in 95...

Yeah France if anyone, it'd be easier to ignore all of their gloating as I wouldn't even understand it, and anything I did understand would be in a funny French accent.

and, cheese, wine, rich food and culture. Love the French, love France. Would live there if I wasn't scared of becoming Fat Bastard NZZP

France or Wales I could live with.
Unbearable - Ireland, Springboks, Australia

don't worry, unless they skip the QF it's all sorted

Pragmatically speaking an Aussie win would help NZ rugby. Interest in SR pacific would grow etc

and England.
Australia will have the same 24 year gap they used to laugh at us about so fuck them.
England will be on a 20 year gap so they can wait longer.
SA only win every 12 years (95,07,19) so aren't due
France are well overdue.
I think we would make a logical pattern if we won next time.Wales, Ireland, Scotland don't deserve to win. Just because.

That’s far too sensible fella, even though I agree with the principle that the best scenario for NZ rugby improvement and interest is a strong OZ. But I’ll be damned if I see Rennie lead an Aussie team to RWC glory 🤮

Sheesh bro, 12 months out and you already want to #booboo it…

Interesting how many of us chose France, I'm included, though if we are into the very unlikely candidates, I'd prefer Argentina.
For me I don't want the Boks pulling away from us. Couldn't stand Oz winning cos I live here. England nah. Ireland can fck off.

@voodoo when the Argies aren’t playing that cynical rubbish I don’t mind them. But RWC, nah. Can you imagine Jags4real….

Cheika the World Cup winning coach? No thanks

Wales v NZ Final
Wales to win for the first time in 70 years
The stuff of dreams
And delusion
-
In order of worst to least worst...
- England
- Australia / South Africa - I don't know what would be worse between Australia joining us on 3 cups (plus their general Australian-ness) or RSA equally our back-to-back record and overtaking us in cups won
- Ireland - although, if they win it playing the way they did in July I would have to admire them begrudgingly
- Scotland - lol
- France - I know a few too many French people who know SFA about rugby who would enjoy this too much
- Wales
- Argentina

I'd rather we go out in the pools.
-
If we cant win, someone should steal the Cup and runaway...take the ball and go home
Not England, Not Aus, Not SA and Not Ireland, I can make peace with anyone else winning it.

and England.
No problem with England as far as the genuine rugby supporters are concerned. Actually be happy for them
It's the inevitable fair-weather "fans" and triumphalist "This is the Greatest Rugby Team Ever" media which makes it a no-no for me.
